Antarian Rangers Disbanded

Emperor Palpatine today announced the disbanding of the Antarian Rangers, confirming rumors that the Rangers had assisted the Jedi in their failed coup attempt.

Imperial spokesman Ars Dangor indicated that the bulk of the Rangers had been arrested but warned that some had escaped and were still at large. "They should be considered extremely dangerous. It is possible they are still associating with and assisting fugitive Jedi.

"Citizens should be assured that reports of organized efforts of the Rangers to smuggle Jedi traitors off of Coruscant are just rumors. Seditious rumors that destabilize our new Empire."
